They definitely tested the water. I can recall several Pokemon games on mobile, as well as something like a Mario infinite runner. I don't think it will happen anytime soon, but it's not "complete" fantasy to think it co

I wonder if Nintendo will ever cave and start putting out official PC versions. I haven't bought a console in decades, but I have strong nostalgia towards some of those older games. There are tons of these games that 100% are already p

Off-topic, but this article brought my first time to see a "scan the QR to verify you're human" from reCaptcha. I hope this doesn't become a thing, because I never, ever do that.

How did the comic handle on your Libra? I use an older Clara BnW and it really struggles with graphic heavy pdfs - slow page changing etc.

I don't feel like the article is lacking for that. It's evolution at work. There could be monkeys eating animals that can properly digest them due to some mutation or unique gut biomes. Actually eating the animals is an important

Spotify comes to mind immediately. Of all things, they wall off your saved music - premium doesn't matter. There is literally no reason to prevent web app users from accessing what is essentially just another playlist, other than to co

Squinting real hard to see a silver lining here, but when a settlement is reached, does that mean they can be tried again for the same thing? If the states can't, can individuals try their own class action suit?

I agree with this take. Sites used to sell banner space, negotiate a price and place the ad themselves. There was human review of what was being placed. Now apps and sites just let ad providers inject whatever they want, seemingly without o

I have mixed opinions on this. On one hand - "it's about time". This should have happened a long time ago just for parity's sake and I would think that of all the game stores - the one specifically catering to older and
